TRADE: Pistons get Tobias Harris for Jennings/Ilyasova

[Glenn]

@MikeAScotto
Sources: Detroit Pistons have discussed a deal to acquire Tobias Harris from the Orlando Magic for Brandon Jennings and Ersan Ilyasova.

[Glenn]

Done deal, per @vgoodshill

No problem seeing Ilyasova go, he was a weak link. Jennings was never going to be a big part of a contending team, IMO.

Harris is basically a free agent signing for next year that we get to use early.

[Glenn]

De-escalating salary is nice, too

Tobias Harris
$16,000,000
$17,200,000
$16,000,000
$14,800,000

Always seemed like a bit of a chucker when I've watched him, but that's SVG's style I guess.

[Glenn]

Now we just wait for Joe Johnson to get bought out and grab him at the minimum, lol

Poor Tahoe.

New kid needs to hit threes like last year, not like his is currently.
Playing the most minutes on the team per game but offensive output is down from last year (not shooting as much and missing his 3s).

[Glenn]

SVG gets a guy back he knows and Skiles gets two that he had in Milwaukee.

That Jennings/Skiles dynamic must be interesting.

But hey, no state sales tax in FLA.

Glad we did something. It looks like he's about the same size as MM. I read he's a SF or PF. Seems like a SF at 6'8". So does he just start in Illy's place?

[Tahoe]

Nice contract. No sarcasm.
